Lin Ershuan and his wife’s shop in town had become the talk of the village. People were not surprised by the valuable set of bowls that Lin Ershuan whipped out, just envious. The men who used to work with him had all gathered around Lin Ershuan, seeking advice on opening their own shops.

Lan Hua’s family gift was two rolls of fine cotton cloth, with fresh patterns and a blue background scattered with flowers, obviously prepared for the unborn child.

Loudmouth didn’t come empty-handed either; she prepared a peach wood comb and a delicate small tabletop mirror for each of the three Lin Yuan Sisters.

What delighted Lin Yuan the most, however, were the gifts Lin Fugui had brought from town for them.

The moment Lin Fugui entered with his ox cart, he called out to her, "Yuanyuan, come and see, your grandparents sent someone to bring gifts for you."

Upon hearing that the gifts were from her grandparents, Lin Yuan ran out joyfully.

She wasn’t concerned about the quantity of the gifts, but treasured the thoughtfulness behind them.

For an event like warming the new home, her parents’ family was expected to attend.

She had worried that they might not come due to the distance, but to her surprise, her grandparents had actually sent gifts through someone else.

The gifts from her grandparents included two big carps, two old hens, and a variety of other bits and pieces, all of which were said to be meaningful and deliberate.

Lin Yuan accepted all of them, storing them in the kitchen.

With Gui Zhi’s sister-in-law and Aunt Wang busy in the kitchen, Lin Yuan didn’t need to worry about anything.

Furthermore, since Lan Hua and Loudmouth had taken care of cooking and steaming buns when they were building the house, Lin Yuan didn’t need to contribute to that day’s lunch preparations either.

Additionally, since the kitchen had been replaced, the two large stoves could be used at the same time, and they could boil water and make tea on the smaller stove in the middle. Lin Yuan was therefore only in charge of serving seeds, sweets, and tea to the guests.

Seeds were considered a rare treat in the countryside.

Last time, Li Feng’e only took a small handful which made those two women wildly envious.

Today, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Yuan’s house offered two large plates of seeds, both sweet and salty, letting those who came for the housewarming eat their fill.

The seeds were actually roasted by Lin Yuan herself the day before. She had bought raw seeds in town, then slowly roasted them in the big pot with sugar, salt, and other seasonings from home.

Lin Yuan felt that pre-purchased seeds from town never tasted as good as the ones she roasted herself. As expected, everyone loved them very much.

Too many seeds could cause heatiness, so Lin Yuan had also specifically prepared some chrysanthemum tea to clear the heat.

Beyond these, Lin Yuan had prepared some of the pastries sold in her store.

Spicy strips, of course, were not to be missed.

Although spicy strips were extremely popular in town, it was the first appearance of them in the Lin family hollow, and the two plates of spicy strips were quickly snatched up by everyone in no time.

The women were all in the inner room, talking with Lady Liu, mostly praising how accomplished her daughter was and asking about her health.

The men were all sitting in the main room.

Lin Jiaxin was not using his wheelchair anymore but was using the new walking stick made by Lin Ershuan.

With this stick, Lin Jiaxin could walk back and forth much more conveniently.

Seeing him stand up and walk around after being paralyzed in bed for more than half a year, people were almost astonished.

As Lin Yuan poured tea for everyone, she was secretly pleased in her heart. She had kept Lin Jiaxin’s treatment a secret precisely to surprise everyone, and clearly, it worked fabulously.

At such gatherings, the children were the least patient. Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang had long since led a group of children out to play after eating and drinking their fill.
